How to Recover Lost Photos and Videos from HTC One M10/M9/M8

Nov. . Posted by to Android Topic

With HTC ultra pixel camera, it's really easy to take high solution photos or shot 1080 HD video footages, which is one of the reasons why I prefer HTC device over other great Android smartphones, like Samsung Galaxy S5, LG Pro or Sony Xperia. As amateur photography, taking photos has become an indispensable activity in my daily life. And I am not alone among my friends or family members. With the help of HD camera, this is no need to carry a lumpish DSLR for photography. You have the chance to capture every moment you feel good in your life only a HTC smartphone needed.

Until now, I have stored approximate 1000+ photos and 20+ videos on my HTC One M8, which is the biggest achievement I have done in last three months. Unfortunately, I lost all of them because of some silly mistakes. I dropped my phone into water by accident, which caused the loss of entire data on my SD card. And the technical support told me it's almost impossible to recover the data unless you can find a powerful data recovery tool that is capable of such kind data loss.

I have spent several days searching for such tool on internet with the hope of recovering my precious photos. I tried every change I found out and tested them one by one manually. The good news is that I finally got one workable solution to restore the lost photos and videos. Android Data Recovery is a desktop-based recovery tool designed for Android users.
